Description

8vo. 2 vols. 310 pp., final blank f. 263, (1) pp. Contemporary half calf over green and marbled boards with gilt spine and handwritten spine-labels. A guide to the Muslim monuments of Istanbul: perhaps the most important Ottoman literary source for the Islamic landmarks of the capital. Long recognized by Turkish scholars as a unique source for the city's architecture and urban form, the text, which was completed in 1195/1780 and revised and enlarged between 1248/1832-33 and 1253/1838 by Ali Sati, contains separate descriptions of each of Istanbul's more than 800 mosques, plus accounts of its medreses, tombs, tekkes, and other monuments. - From the library of John R. Walsh (1919-93), Professor of Turkish Studies at Edinburgh University, with many neat marginal notes, a few underlinings and a few notes loosely inserted or tipped in, most of which appear to be in his hand. A Turkish newspaper clipping from 1950 glued in vol. 1. - Covers rubbed and bumped at extremeties, but firm. Internally very good. - Özege 6565. Cf. Faeuk Sumer, i. A. fas. 59, pp. 386-388.
